When class gets boring I like to play a game with my sitting patner. (Yes, even in college my childish ass keeps to one sitting partner). In this game he writes a line then I write another. Generally, the words must make sense but they are not always coherent.
(Maybe we should play that game some time. I start a story and we write a freaking novel from that single line)
Anyway, today's game got pretty intense. We blurred the lines between fiction and reality. Hypothesis and facts. Magic and science. (Slap out of it, Rony.)
Hypothetically (or so he claims) he called me and I quote, "conclusive, judgemental and unfair."
He told me not to take it personal. But what he did not say was that it was not personal. So I did what every rational human being would do and took it personal. Being a conclusive and judgemental person, one would expect no less.
So I did not save myself the drama and wrote some pretty deep things in return. Then it hit me. By calling me all those things he had also invariably passed his sentence as to the kind of person I was and I can say that his sentence was rather, "Conclusive, judgemental and unfair." (Right?)
And all we "rational" human beings have that tendency. We spit out our judgement without second thought. Which makes us conclusive and unfair.
But a father once said to me, "DO NOT CRITICISE WHAT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND AND DO NOT JUDGE WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW."
How easy it is to stand from the side and conclude about someone. Even in the person's shoes we will not see through the person's eyes. (You can quote me anyday.)
So what is the lesson here? It is one and it is beautiful. Erykah Badu has put it more eloquently though, "You cannot judge people because they sin differently than you."
Love,
Rony.
PS
Why don't we start that #game.
